An exceptional wing occupying a commanding position on the edge of Haslemere town.
East Highlands comprises the principal portion of a large Victorian country house. Believed to have been built in 1875, the property was subsequently divided in 1955, giving us the two well-proportioned family houses we see today. East Highlands has been thoughtfully extended and modernised over the years giving us the beautiful family home we see today. The property offers well-proportioned accommodation over three floors, with the principal rooms benefitting from uninterrupted views across the sun terraces to the rear and across the surrounding Surrey and West Sussex countryside to the South Downs.While the property benefits from two good-sized reception rooms, off the formal entrance hallway is the kitchen/breakfast room which is the heart of the house and features an open-plan glass and oak extension allowing the space to be flooded with natural light throughout the day.The property further offers flexibility of accommodation on the ground floor featuring both a home office and additional playroom to the side of the house located off the generously sized boot room.The master bedroom suite is also of an excellent size. Our clients have incorporated what was the fifth bedroom into this suite to provide a dressing room together with full en suite bathroom.Outside, a real highlight of the property is the beautifully considered barn-style detached guest cottage which is a wonderful property in its own right. This property benefits from generous living accommodation with an open-plan sitting room and kitchen as well as bedroom and bathroom, with this building benefitting from underfloor heating and double glazing making it a remarkably cosy place to live.East Highlands is accessed via a gravel driveway to the front of the house, providing parking for numerous cars and a charging point for electric vehicles. The grounds immediately to the rear of the property feature wonderful sun terraces and an ornamental garden which drops away to the view of the surrounding countryside. Adjoining the sun terraces is a good-sized flat lawn area beyond which is the guest cottage which benefits from its own terrace and beyond to the kitchen garden.Agents' Note:East Highlands is being sold with the benefit of an existing planning permission for the installation of solar panels - Planning Application WA/2022/03126 - Valid From 09/12/2022
